Did I tell you, we’re going on an 18 day road trip?
3,000+ miles, 8 states, 4 kids, 2 adults, 1 mini-van.
I’m excited to share with you all the places we’re going to visit, & our adventures along the way.
We’re getting ready to go this morning, so I don’t have much time to post, but I it wouldn’t be Monday without another edition of Marvelous Mondays.
Remember last week’s edition where I share 16 of my favorite blogs?
This week, I’ve got some more great links lined up for you.
Here we go.
♥ In case you missed it, posts from this weekend: I jumped (a video of me jumping into some icy cascade waters) & what’s in a vegan kitchen?, a video resurrected from the early days of the blog.
♥ Do you like once-a-month cooking, or freezer meals? Here’s a list of delicious vegan freezer meals (my ginger soup is on the list!) that will save you time in the kitchen & is easy on the budget.
♥ Great summer reading list, for all ages.
♥ Once I get my sewing machine back, I’m making this little contraption to keep the books in our car organized.
♥ Choco-holic? I think this site may contain the answer to naturally, serving your cravings.
♥ This site makes me want to live more simply. Not sure if that is possible with a brain like mine, but I certainly aspire to it.
♥ 9 varieties of vanilla beans? Wowzers. Thanks Averie, for the recommend.
♥ Speaking of vanilla. Did you know today is National Vanilla Ice cream Day? Who knew there was such a thing? Check out other quirky holidays, here, & make sure you don’t miss things like National Lasagna Day (July 29), National Watermelon Day (August 3), or National Chocolate Chip Day (August 4).
♥ Need a vanilla ice cream recipe to celebrate today? My recipe for vanilla bean ice cream & Hailey, from Daily Bites, also has a good one, using macadamia nuts.
♥ Sayings I need to memorize before I move down south.
♥ Are you a mom, & do you work for pay? You may want to read this.
♥ A delicious allergy-friendly, easy-to-make, tabbouleh. (soy-free, nut-free, grain-free, vegan!)
♥ A pop-up dinner party sounds like so much fun, don’t you think?
My workout of the week (45 minutes):
Having a hard time finding time to workout? Sneak in your workouts throughout your day (for a total of 45 minutes), or do a straight shot, one after another.
Cardio Intervals (18 minutes),
Arms (7 minutes),
Pilates legs (10 minutes),
& Solid Abs (9 minutes)
